Lyrics Old 97s - Dance With Me

Underneath the foreign stars
In a foreign place where they don’t love you
I do care,
In the pale moonlight
Your eyes are wide
And the band plays…
Everybody wants you

And he takes your hand tenderly
And he whispers
Sweet surrender, nothing
How he feels about girls like you
Your flip flop smiles,
And your big blue eyes
On vacation

Dance with me into the ocean
Roll with me into the sea
Don’t tell me the world is in trouble
Do you want to dance with me?

Go, changes hands as the big waves
Crash and dream don’t die
But I do
Where were you when I needed you
Right now
The telephone just rings,
I’m gonna find you…

Dance with me, into the ocean
Roll with me, into the sea
Don’t tell me the world is in trouble
Do you want to dance with me, oh
Do you want to dance with me?

Underneath the foreign sun
With a foreign man who is gone and almost forgotten
Take everything you see
And remember us and wonder,
If you will be forgiven…

Dance with me, into the ocean
Roll with me, into the sea
Don’t tell me the world is in trouble
Don’t tell me the world is in trouble

Dance with me, into the ocean
Roll with me, into the sea
Don’t tell me the world is in trouble
Do you want to dance with me
Do you want to dance with me, oh
Do you want to dance with me?
